Hated keyboard shortcuts for years until a deadline forced my hand

Last Tuesday I had 12 posters due by 5pm and my mouse hand cramped up after the first 3, so I finally learned the align and distribute shortcuts in Illustrator. After that day I saved about 45 minutes of clicking around, and now I actually look forward to using them.

Broo same thing happened to me with copy/paste in Photoshop. Muscle memory kicks in after a day and you never look back. The align shortcuts alone made me want to smack my past self for trying to nudge things pixel by pixel. Now i use ctrl+shift+[ and ] to send things back and forth in layers like its nothing.

Learned ctrl+shift+[ and ] from a Twitch stream and never went back.
